May 21, 2019

Dungeons and Raids

Crucible of Storms

The Restless Cabal

April 23, 2019

Classes

Priest

Shadow

Auspicious Spirits damage reduced to 70% (was 100%).

Developers’ notes: The damage reduction to this talent is meant to curb the synergy of Insanity and Shadowy Apparition generation when combined with some Azerite traits, while still leaving it as a fun and interesting combo.

Emissary rewards for Azerite Armor will now drop at a maximum of ilvl 400 (was ilvl 385).

The item level of gear rewards for “Against Overwhelming Odds" has been increased to item level 395 (was ilvl 385).

Resolved an issue that prevented the intended 50% reduction to Azerite Traits in PvP from being applied to Traits found on Engineering helms.

The effectiveness of Ward of Envelopment and Mirror of Entwined Fate in PvP has been reduced by 50% for player characters who are not in a healing specialization.

The effectiveness of Diamond-Laced Refracting Prism in PvP has been reduced by 50% for player characters who are not in a tank specialization.

Developers’ notes: The above trinkets are balanced for healers and tanks in PvP, and their current tuning slows down the pacing of Arena combat unacceptably when used by nonstandard roles. Reducing their effectiveness in PvP, for those roles only, will allow them to remain a formidable option.

Quests

Fixed a bug that prevented players from completing “No One Left Behind” if Rokhan did not spawn.

Azerite Knowledge

The Azerite Knowledge system that periodically reduces the Artifact Power required to level up the Heart of Azeroth has been extended to April 23.

Developers’ notes: This change should give more players the opportunity to attain Azerite traits on current gear and reach the current maximum artifact level of 50 before the major Heart of Azeroth system update coming in Rise of Azshara.

Brawler's Guild

Fixed an issue that prevented players that died during a Rumble from ranking up in their next solo fight and receiving the correct rewards.

Fixed an issue that allowed players under level 120 to queue for Brawler's Guild fights.

Communications

Players will once again be able to share their in-game adventures on Twitter.
